The move could pit the White House against the court over executive privilege in a trial involving seven defendants.

A spring storm drenched Jefferson City with 2.21 inches of rain in 24 hours and pushed the Missouri River to 18.2 feet as Wear's Creek overflowed. Cars, including Vernon Patrick's pickup worth about 4000 dollars with 1000 dollars of radio gear inside, were damaged by up to four feet of floodwater on West Miller Street in front of Rodeway Inn. Crews cleaned mud from streets while the river is expected to rise further and the weekend forecast calls for clearing skies and no rain.
